Formed in December 1935, the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra is recognised as one of the UK’s leading orchestras. The winner of several awards, including a Royal Philharmonic Society Award in 2001 (the only Scottish orchestra to do so) and two Gramophone Awards, its wide repertory and flexible approach to format means it can perform a complex contemporary piece as a specialist ensemble alongside a major symphonic work.
The orchestra has a busy broadcasting schedule on BBC Radio 3, BBC Radio Scotland and BBC Television, and also records commercially. It takes live music to towns and cities across Scotland every season, is in demand at major UK festivals, and plays every summer at the BBC Proms in London. Abroad, the orchestra has appeared in the great musical centres of Europe, and has toured the USA, South America and China. In Scotland, as well as being the leading supporter of living composers and new music, the BBC SSO is extremely active in the community, with an innovative learning programme dedicated to bringing the inspiration of great music to people of all ages and backgrounds. At the beginning of last year the orchestra moved from Broadcasting House – its base for nearly 70 years - to the refurbished City Halls at the heart of the Merchant City, which is now the orchestra’s permanent home, administrative, performance and recording base.
